The UPDATING entry in r264175 describes how to fix this:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=264175

Briefly, you will now need to change your /etc/ttys to look like this:
ttyu0   "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire" vt100   on secure

If your virtual machine has an older world then your /etc/gettytab
will not have the entry for "3wire" and you may want to use
"3wire.9600" instead.

Neel
